独家：美国和拉丁美洲官员指责美国国际开发署（USAID）动用美国纳税人资金，支持拉丁美洲各地左翼候选人主张的事业。
EXCLUSIVE: U.S. and Latin American officials are accusing the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) of using American taxpayer dollars for causes championed by left-wing candidates across Latin America.
这些指控出台之际，在特朗普政府决定拆解美国国际开发署、将剩余对外援助职能移交国务院后，该地区多国相继选出保守派领导人。
The allegations come after several countries in the region elected conservative leaders following the Trump administration’s decision to dismantle USAID and shift remaining foreign assistance functions to the State Department.
“USAID 试图自行推行外交政策的例子比比皆是，”美国驻巴拿马大使凯文·马里诺·卡布雷拉对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
"You have plenty of examples out there of how USAID was attempting to run its own foreign policy," U.S. Ambassador to Panama Kevin Marino Cabrera told Fox News Digital.
卡布雷拉说，USAID 的拆解使国务院和美国南方司令部能更紧密地与伙伴国家在灾害救援和恢复工作上合作。
Cabrera said USAID’s dismantling has allowed the State Department and U.S. Southern Command to work more closely with partner countries on disaster relief and recovery efforts.
“看看后 USAID 时代，国务院和美国南方司令部的力量在牙买加、委内瑞拉、哥伦比亚，现在又包括巴拿马，共同应对自然灾害，取得了巨大成功，”卡布雷拉说。
"When you look at a post-USAID world where we have forces from the State Department and U.S. Southern Command working together in Jamaica, Venezuela, Colombia and now Panama, they’ve had great success in responding to natural disasters," Cabrera said.
“我们专注于实际的灾害救援和恢复。我们不关注那些疯狂的议程，比如与外交政策或灾害救援恢复毫无关系的失败的 DEI（多元、公平与包容）政策，”他补充道。
"We’re focused on actual disaster relief and recovery. We’re not focused on these crazy agendas, like failed DEI policies that have nothing to do with foreign policy or disaster relief and recovery," he added.
卡布雷拉还批评拜登政府时期缺乏领导力，称这使 USAID 得以在该地区推行宣扬左翼事业的项目。
Cabrera also criticized what he described as a lack of leadership during the Biden administration, saying it allowed USAID to pursue programs that promoted left-wing causes in the region.
巴西政界人士、前总统雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗之子爱德华多·博尔索纳罗本月早些时候在接受《每日信号报》采访时提出了类似指控。
Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian politician and the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, made similar allegations in an interview with The Daily Signal earlier this month.
博尔索纳罗声称，超过6000万美元的美国纳税人资金通过美国国际开发署（USAID）、国家民主基金会（NED）和大西洋理事会被输送至巴西，用于支持打击这些组织所称“右翼虚假信息”的机构。
Bolsonaro claimed that more than $60 million in U.S. taxpayer funds was sent to Brazil through USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Atlantic Council to support organizations that combat what those groups describe as "right-wing misinformation."
巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦近期将其政府定位为多元、公平与包容（DEI）的全球捍卫者，并利用高规格国际论坛批评他所称的右翼协调虚假信息浪潮。
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has recently positioned his administration as a global champion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and has used high-profile international forums to criticize what he describes as a coordinated wave of right-wing disinformation."
“这是外国选举干预，”博尔索纳罗对该媒体表示。“美国纳税人的钱以左派的名义资助外国的审查制度，这与美国国际开发署成立的初衷完全背道而驰。”博尔索纳罗称，约翰·F·肯尼迪总统创立美国国际开发署初衷良好，但他认为该机构此后已偏离了其最初的使命。
"This is foreign election interference," Bolsonaro told the outlet. "American taxpayer dollars were financing foreign censorship in the name of the left, which is completely contrary to why USAID was even created in the first place." Bolsonaro said President John F. Kennedy created USAID with good intentions but argued that the agency had since strayed from its original mission.
“遗憾的是，在拜登政府领导下，意识形态分歧和两极分化使该倡议偏离了轨道，”他补充道。
"Unfortunately, under the Biden administration, ideological division and polarization diverted that initiative," he added.
